Tempo

Definition

The speed at which you perform each phase of a lift, turning a simple bicep curl into a mathematical equation involving seconds, phases, and existential patience. Slow tempo means the weight feels three times heavier and the set lasts approximately forever.

Example Usage

"My trainer put me on a 4-0-4-0 tempo for squats, which means each rep takes eight seconds and each set takes approximately the rest of my natural life."
